The Licensing Sub Committee D of Hackney Council was scheduled to consider applications for premises licences. The meeting agenda included discussions on a variation to an existing premises licence for The Rolling Stock and a new premises licence application for Hoxton Spirits HQ. A standing item regarding Temporary Event Notices was also scheduled.

Application to Vary a Premises Licence: The Rolling Stock

The committee was scheduled to consider an application to vary the premises licence for The Rolling Stock, located at 46-48 Kingsland Road, London, E2 8DA. The agenda indicated that this item would involve a detailed review of the proposed changes to the licence.

Application for a Premises Licence: Hoxton Spirits HQ

A new application for a premises licence for Hoxton Spirits HQ, situated at 1st floor, 2-4 Holywell Lane, Hackney, EC2A 4QS, was also scheduled for discussion. This would involve assessing the suitability of the premises for licensable activities.

Temporary Event Notices

The committee was also scheduled to address Temporary Event Notices (TENs) as a standing item. This suggests that any objections or issues raised concerning TENs would be reviewed. The Licensing Act 2003 outlines the procedure for these notices, which allow for small-scale, temporary events to take place without a full premises licence. The council's Statement of Licensing Policy provides further guidance on how objections to TENs are assessed, including considering any history of complaints and proposed control measures.

The meeting agenda also included procedural items such as the election of a Chair, apologies for absence, declarations of interest, and the minutes of the previous meeting. A document detailing the Licensing Sub-Committee Hearing Procedure was also listed for consideration. This procedure outlines how hearings are conducted under the Licensing Act 2003, including the rights of applicants, responsible authorities, and other persons to make representations. The council's Statement of Licensing Policy, particularly sections relating to the licensing objectives (prevention of crime and disorder, public safety, prevention of public nuisance, and protection of children from harm), core hours, and special policy areas like Dalston and Shoreditch, would likely inform the committee's considerations.
